Where are the now.

Lloyd has now decided he doesn't feel safe in the Labour Party, so has defected to the Lib Dems. It should come as relief to everyone that by joining the Lib Dems he has made sure he will never get anywhere near the leavers of power. 

But what of the likes of Rob Carney? The last I heard, he had scuttled off to Manchester.

Gow goes west.

It appears that some time ago Alison Gow left Reach PLC. It would be nice to think someone at Reach found out about her ethical and moral failings, but I don't think it is possible to have sufficiently low ethics or morals to be a risk to the reputation of such a repugnant organisation.
I suppose it possible the Gow found that Reach PLC was below her high standards. That is however very very unlikely.


More likely she just found some, likely unethical, way to make more cash. I believe North Wales used to have some of the highest standards of morals in the country. They must however be in steep decline in the Snowdonia area if Gow can avoid being run out of town.

It is another date for Ged Fitzgerald.

It has been a while coming, but it looks like Ged Fitzgerald and the Operation Aloft crew will be having their day in court in September 2024. See Ex-Lancashire Council leader Geoff Driver trial date set for 2025; Three men accused in the same investigation will also stand trial next year.

It not straight forward though, in September 2024 David McElhinney, Phil Halsall, and Ged Fitzgerald, all ex Liverpool City Council staff, will be at Manchester Crown court for various charges. Then 7 months later they be back for another trial, this time with Geoff Driver.

Despite the article I'm quoting being copyright MGN, this hasn't appeared in any paper or broadcast media. It has all been hush, hush. One question is will the 2nd trial prevent reporting on the first? Where does this leave operation Aloft. Sheridan only covers Lancashire County Council, while Aloft is Liverpool City Council?

An epidemic of lack of integrity.

I've dealt with Liverpool Councillor Ron Gould, Joe Anderson and Nick Small and in order they have been rude, abusive and snide. I've dealt with MPs, mainly their staff, Louise Ellman, Jane Kennedy and Kim Johnson. They have been abusive(staff), abusive and condensing(staff). Kennedy and Johnson managed to by rude personally. All, bar Gould, have been Labour.
 
Explicitly with Ron Gould, where he simply said "We've been told all about you" then Jane Kennedy's staff member's initial greeting of "You should see a psychiatrist" before slamming the phone through Joe's "He just bullshits everything",  right through to snide and condescending Cate Murphy who is Kim Johnson's office manager. It has been fairly obvious they have heard some rumours and obviously taken them seriously.
 
If they were serious people then they would have done some investigation, perhaps given me a chance to address some of them. However, this is Liverpool, a city run by scallies. From the most junior member of the council through to the Chief Executive, specifically Ged Fitzgerald, they are endowed with a degree of entitlement, that is also found in most parts of Liverpool's establishment from lawyers like Brabners, Media a like the Echo and Merseyside Police.
 
Liverpool is a city where the great and the good are totally almost of ethics and moral behaviour. This not 100% true, but in almost every case do not come from Liverpool.
This lack of ethics might also explain some of Kim Johnson's in activity. A couple of years ago I put in a complaint to Merseyside Police and when it was rejected after 0 investigation because their GPS tracking system had recoded an officer in that location and no other attempt being taken to identify and officer in the area.
 
So an appeal was put in via the IOPC, an email was received saying wait for Merseyside Police to contact you. A contact that never came, I asked Johnson to chase this up, she got back saying that I had no complaint withe Merseyside police and that she had no power or any say in how the police ran things. She was sent a copy of the IOPC message saying a complaint had been raised by them. She did not reply.

You only have to search for her name and police to find out that she has been quite happy to use her MP status at other times.
 
The IOPC ignore requests to chase up the complaint and Merseyside Police own grossly incompetent FOI/DPA department say that it will not look up the data because the complaint ID number is an IOPC number not their own.

The parasite's new apologist.

The reality of journo abuse is that a lot of it is very similar to the abuse journos hand out, it may not be the journos that hand it out who receive it but let's remember Jeremy Clarkson is a journo, Kelvin MacKenzie is a journo, Piers Morgan is a journo formerly at Reach, the people who work at GBNews are journos. They are the big names in journo abuse. Who is there to protect the people who are their victims? 
True, most of them pick on big names, who have the budgets for therapy and security but what about further down the list where the local and regional press abuse people? I have suffered abusive phone calls from the rag that is the Echo and its then editor. I also suffered attacks on Twitter when mentioning it, from Reach's staff. Where is my support? 
Where is Helen Wilkie's support after being forced off a course by the Liverpool Echo's editor for alleged abuse on Twitter? Have those abusive tweets been produced yet? Last time I checked they hadn't! 
Where is the support for the people of Upper Pitt Street where a flat was attacked and smashed up, incurring £1000s of pounds worth of damage for the landlord to pay, because the Echo revealed that someone just convicted of sexual offences had lived there? Of course, as they'd been held on remand and were sent down for 4 years, were never going to live there again. What public interest was there in publishing this detail other than to prime the mob? 
The Echo likes a good crime story, the darker the events the better, they play well with the prurient interests of the readers and sells papers thereby making them money. What also makes money is a hagiography of murdered gangsters or the death of some petty hoodlum. Oh, they loved their mum.
Whatever gets the most clicks or sells the most papers. 
Journalists have granted themselves special privileges in society and they are cuddled up to the powerful. You or I engaging in the practices that journalists engage in, is 90% of what they call abuse when it's directed at them. 
If there is some deal where we tolerate their, for money, intrusion in people's lives, in return for them keeping a close eye on those in power and holding them accountable, then we seriously need to revise it because they stopped delivering on their side of the bargain long ago. 
The rise of media away from the likes of Reach is a threat to them, that's why Reach took Google's money to try and destroy truly local journalism.

 


I'm sure that a large focus of her job will be humanising journalists to the population, so people feel sympathy for them. It is a job Reach will only do for its staff and the most socially destructive criminals on its patch.
Of course Whittington doesn't allow people to comment on her posts, how typical of journalists. Hypocritical to the core.

Gill's snide land.

For many years I worked in Oxbridge in both halves and during that time I developed a deep deep suspicion of Oxbridge Graduates, some of them are very talented and capable, some of them are very intelligent and incapable and there are some that are just plain weird.
However the biggest single group are the self-serving it is all about them, they are indoctrinated to believe they are the cream of the cream who deserve all the success they can get no matter what they have to do to get it. This goes a long way to explain the BBC's Andy Gill, who till a few minutes ago I hadn't realised was an Oxfordman but it makes sense.
I've never knowingly communicated with Andy but he was spread some now know bollocks about me by a snapper at the Liverpool Echo and perhaps a local high-profile solicitor. The solicitor has had to retract allegations he made about made claiming it was mistaken identity, though he never explained where the info came from.
The scant information presented to him would not be enough for a person of integrity to come to any conclusion, let alone act on it, but that didn't stop Andy. It is the kind of snap judgment that a qualification from Oxbridge entitles you to make and one which you fellow Oxbridgers and Oxbridge sycophants will make sure you suffer no ill effects from making.
Andy used to give me a hard stair every time we crossed paths after the encounter outside Liverpool Crown court. This of course makes me think that together with my Oxbridgephobia he was given some other tips on how to annoy me.

MPs Staff

I've dealt with the offices of several MPs and their staff. They don't inspire confidence. The four offices varied from plain abusive through snide to just idiotic. They seem to have got the job based on a shared ideology, not their ability to interact with the public.

One of them whose personal behaviour was snide/borderline abusive was Chris Lloyd, who worked for Louise Ellman. In a court case, I was involved in had statements from Lloyd, the mild-mannered solicitor developed a loathing for Lloyd based purely on his victim statement. In the end, the CPS seems to have developed a similar opinion of Lloyd and the other staff members, leading to their removal from the case as victims.

The MP went out of their way to ensure that their statements never ended up in court, and so they could not be cross-examined in public.

Ellman was the chairperson of the Transport Select Committee. When Lloyd left Ellman's office, he secured a nice gig working for Network Rail. I wonder what Network Rail thought it was getting from someone with a Politics with Law degree in a PR position. Though perhaps the qualification wasn't the important thing. 

It seems that Lloyd is back on the campaign trail. See "Greenwich councillor Chris Lloyd misses out in the race to be Westminster candidate".


 

 
But what of the present collection, the post-2019 group? They don't seem to be an improvement. If anything, they are more uniform in their abysmal attitude. This time, though, it is streaked through with ideology. Don't expect anything from them on behalf of the working class. They only see the working class as the foot soldiers of their army. The patronising and paternalistic nature of the hard left is alive and kicking in L8.

Court news.

It seems that Ged Fitzgerald is about to get his day in court, well, actually several weeks.

He will be joined in the dock by Dr David McElhinney, Philip Halsall, Gerard Fitzgerald, and Geoff Driver. This is in connection with Lancashire County Council but the 1st 3 all have connections with Liverpool City Council as well.

The enquire is said to centre around One Connect joint venture between BT. A similar scheme, Liverpool Direct was running in Liverpool up to 2014.

Press release from Lancashire police.

The court thing happened and complete silence. 

I wrote to the approriate court and asked for a copy of the reporting retrictions and again complete silence.  I can only conclude that their are none otherwise the they would have replied say it is not possible.

Hi,

Is it possible to get a copy of the reporting restrictions imposed at the court on the above date, in the case involving David McElhinney, Phillip Halsall, Gerard Fitzgerald and Geoff Driver?
